[ applause ] >>> that was the end of the press coverage of the president's first cabinet meeting extended right there. first cabinet meeting since the election. that shot that you see of the president flanked by his defense secretary, leon panetta, and his secretary of state, hillary clinton, that is a reminder of how strange it is that cabinet jobs are sort of expected to all turn over when a president earns a secretary term. big picture. if you are a great secretary of transportation you are doing a fine job running the agriculture department for the nation, why should you leave that job when the president who picked you for that job just got reelected to stay in his job for another four years? it's weird, right, the turnover for the second term. occasionally, people do stay on for a second term or part of a second term. mostly, because either they are tired or because it is tradition. cabinet secretaries move on and frankly, p

susan rice would be a great candidate. but what the president said today was, if i choose susan rice, it's because i think she's the most qualified person for the job, and i'm not going to let your bs stand in the way of me nominating her for that. >> in terms of the tone that we're hearing from the president here, i am not one of those people who believes in like following body language as opposed to following policy fights, but it is striking that we saw the president at that debate with mitt romney, where it quickly spiralled into the false fact check and the please proceed and everything. we saw the president at that debate and we saw the president again today sort of bring the room to a halt, stop everybody, and look really pissed. i have not seen that very much in covering him as president. are there instances -- you've worked with and around him since going back to 2007. is there a pattern to when he gets mad about stuff? >> well, he has only a certain tolerance for some of the idiocy that the beltway gets itself en
